The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work, by Alain deBotton

The Pleasures and Sorrows of WorkErudite and well-read exploration of work. In places very amusing but it's the acute and accurate observations of people, places and habits, that are the strongest part of the book.

Factotum, by Charles Bukowski

FactotumNot quite as amusing as Post Office, but more of the same; dry, witty, salacious and sad.
